SPLINT, UNIVERSAL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a sole-source contract to ARS SALES & SERVICES LLC (CAGE 1KA59) for the supply of 10 units of SPLINT, UNIVERSAL, identified by NSN 6515016144641 and procurement line item PR 7017544754, with a total contract value of $107.00. The award was issued on July 28, 2026, under solicitation SPE2DS-26-T-260P, with delivery required at Joint Base Lewis McChord, Washington, under FOB DESTINATION terms. The item is a malleable aluminum alloy splint with closed-cell foam polymer layers, measuring 36 inches by 4.25 inches, designed to be waterproof and reusable. Packaging must comply with ASTM D3951 and DLA’s RP001 requirements, while marking and labeling adhere to DLA Medical Marking Standard No. 1 (MMS NO. 1), superseding MIL-STD-129, and include mandatory machine-readable barcodes for traceability. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, governed by FAR 52.246-2 and DFARS Appendix F, with shipping documentation submitted electronically through Wide Area WorkFlow. The contract includes a suite of federal and defense-specific clauses addressing cybersecurity, trafficking in persons, employment eligibility, sustainable products, hazardous material labeling, and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, with multiple deviations applied to clauses dated February 2026. Compliance with NIST SP 800-171 for information safeguarding and DFARS requirements for covered telecommunications equipment is required. The contractor must affirm its small business status and provide UEI and CAGE codes if offering covered defense telecommunications items. The contract does not specify option quantities, ceiling values, or formal evaluation factors, indicating a low-value, direct award likely under a simplified acquisition procedure. The point of contact for contract administration is Marcos Aliaga at DLA, with payment processed via DoDAAC through WAWF.
